Lawrencium was discovered by Albert Ghiorso, Torbjorn Sikkeland, Almon Larsh and Robert M. Latimer in 1961. It was discovered in the Lawrence laboratory. The element was named after the laboratory.
LR is the symbol. LR stands for Lawrence, where Lawrencium was discovered. The atomic number was 103 and the atomic mass is (262).
Lawrencium has 103 electrons/protons and 159 neutrons.
Lawrencium is a man-made, solid substance. Although it is man-made, the density, boiling point and melting point are all unknown. Lawrencium does not even have any known uses and is classified as a rare substance. Amazingly, even though this substance is man-made, man knows nothing about it.

Lawrencium is a very interesting substance. If enough Lawrencium accumulates in an area, it would generate a radiation hazard. It is a rare Earth metal. Very little is known about this elemnt. It has no uses, aside from research.
